I Know What Missing MCU Story Would Be Perfect For Agatha All Along Season 2

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along.
Marvel Studios may have just teased a second season of Agatha All Along, and I know the perfect story for the follow-up season in the MCU. Concluding on October 30, Agatha All Along has quickly become one of the MCU"s most popular Disney+ shows, and one of my personal favorites, following on from the success of 2021"s WandaVision. Kathryn Hahn"s Agatha Harkness saw huge growth and transformation in Agatha All Along, and we also saw the introduction of formidable new characters, including Death and Billy Maximoff"s Wiccan, setting up huge stories for the MCU"s future.
While Agatha All Along was initially billed as a limited series, speculation about a possible Agatha All Along season 2 has been rising after Variety reported that the series would be submitted in the upcoming awards season"s comedy categories. I personally would love to see Agatha All Along get a second season, especially since the series finale saw Billy Maximoff and Agatha Harkness" ghost leaving Westview to track down Tommy Maximoff"s Speed in his new body. The possibility of Agatha All Along season 2 has me hopeful that one missing MCU relic could be explored in more detail.
Agatha All Along All But Ignored The Darkhold The Darkhold Only Appeared In A Vision In Agatha All Along Close Upon her introduction to the MCU in 2021"s WandaVision, Agatha Harkness was confirmed to be in possession of the Darkhold, the Book of the Damned. The Scarlet Witch stole the book in WandaVision, leading to the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and leaving Agatha vulnerable in Agatha All Along. Despite its destruction at the hands of Wanda Maximoff, I had hoped that Agatha All Along would explore the Darkhold in more detail, but the Book of Sins only appeared once in the series, and that was only in a vision on the Witches" Road.

Agatha All Along"s premiere saw Agnes O"Connor investigate the Darkhold being stolen and destroyed in her true crime-style scenario, but we never saw the book itself. Agatha only saw the book while hallucinating from Alewife"s Revenge in Agatha All Along episode 3, as the Darkhold appeared in a crib, suggesting that Agatha had exchanged her son"s life for the book. This vision turned out to be a fabrication created by Billy Maixmoff, and even Agatha All Along episode 9, which detailed much of Agatha"s history, ignored the Darkhold, so we"re still unclear about its true history.
Agatha’s History With The Darkhold Could Be Explored In Agatha All Along Season 2 Agatha Harkness Acquired The Darkhold Sometime Before WandaVision

I was surprised that we didn"t see Agatha Harkness acquire the Darkhold and learn about its dark knowledge and spells in Agatha All Along, but I reckon this could be the perfect story to tell in a possible season 2. Agatha All Along"s finale, "Maiden Mother Crone," explored some of Agatha Harkness" history in the MCU, as we saw her across various decades using the song, "The Ballad of the Witches" Road," to lure witches into her trap, allowing her to claim their power and their lives. This would have been a great opportunity to reintroduce the Darkhold.

Related How Did Agatha Get The Darkhold Before WandaVision? After Agatha All Along revealed Agatha"s backstory, one mystery is more confusing. When did Agatha obtain the Darkhold and how does her son factor in?
1 Given Agatha Harkness" tragic history with Death and her son, Nicholas Scratch, I assume that the Salem witch sought the Darkhold at some point to try and bring her son back to life. It makes sense that she would have kept the book in her possession even after realizing this wasn"t possible, as the Darkhold"s magic protected Agatha from harm, particularly harm delivered by Aubrey Plaza"s Death. I would be thrilled to see Agatha Harkness" history with the Darkhold explored in more detail in Agatha All Along season 2, should this sequel season be put into development.
The Darkhold Deserves More Development In The MCU The Darkhold Is An Incredibly Powerful Relic In The MCU

The Darkhold is one of the most powerful and exciting new relics introduced to the MCU in the Multiverse Saga. Wong revealed in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that the dark spells of the Darkhold were originally carved into the walls of the Darkhold Castle on Mount Wundagore by the first demon, Chthon. These spells were later transcribed into the physical book. In Marvel Comics, Chthon is pivotal in the evolution of the Scarlet Witch, so I would love to see this origin explored to expand Wanda Maximoff"s own MCU journey.
Chthon gave Wanda Maximoff her ability to access Chaos Magic in Marvel Comics, which could also have been the case in the MCU.
We"ve barely scratched the surface of what the Darkhold is capable of, and I would consider it a shame for the book to be destroyed for good after the events of Multiverse of Madness. Agatha All Along season 2 would present the perfect opportunity for the Darkhold"s origin story to be explored, perhaps even debuting Chthon in the MCU, and marking the return of Elizabeth Olsen"s Scarlet Witch. I"m incredibly excited about this prospect, so I"ll be keeping my fingers crossed that Marvel puts another season of its new fan-favorite series into production.
